Septic arthritis is an infection in the joint (synovial) fluid and joint tissues. Different types of bacteria, viruses, and fungi can infect a joint. Symptoms include fever, joint pain, swelling, redness, and warmth. Quick treatment with antibiotics is needed to halt the risk of joint damage.
Septic arthritis is also known as infectious arthritis, and is usually caused by bacteria. It can also be caused by a virus or fungus. The condition is an inflammation of a joint that's caused by infection. Typically, septic arthritis affects one large joint in the body, such as the knee or hip.

Pyogenic, or septic, arthritis is a serious and painful infection of a joint. It is most often caused by bacteria, such as staphylococcus or streptococcus, but can also be caused by a fungus or virus.

X61 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of direct infection of right knee in infectious and parasitic diseases classified elsewhere. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. Also question is, what is a septic joint? A septic joint occurs when a bacterial infection occurs inside a joint space.
Septic arthritis can develop when an infection, such as a skin infection or urinary tract infection, spreads through your bloodstream to a joint. Less commonly, a puncture wound, drug injection, or surgery in or near a joint can give the germs entry into the joint space.
A septic joint occurs when a bacterial infection occurs inside a joint space. A joint is a connection between two bones. Joints include the knee, hip, shoulder, and dozens of joints in the spine.

The imaging workup for suspected septic arthritis includes radiography or ultrasound before surgical intervention to detect the effusion and to see whether an associated osteomyelitis is present. Imaging is not the primary means of diagnosing septic arthritis.
Treatment of septic arthritis includes antibiotic therapy and drainage of the infected joint (synovial) fluid from the joint (arthrocentesis). Optimally, antibiotics are given immediately. Often, health care professionals administer intravenous antibiotics in a hospital setting.
